Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in growing coriander? Here are some common questions and answers to help you get started. Our experts at All Green are always available to offer tips and advice.

Why is coriander so difficult to grow?

Coriander can be tricky to grow due to its sensitivity to heat. In hot weather, coriander has a bad habit of "bolting" or going to seed quickly. Plant coriander in early spring or autumn to prevent bolting and provide partial shade during the hottest part of the day.

Does coriander like full sun or shade?

Coriander grows best in full sun but also tolerates partial shade. In hotter climates, some shade can prevent the plant from setting seed too quickly, helping it stay productive longer. Coriander is an ideal herb for your veggie garden.

How do you keep coriander alive?

To keep coriander healthy, ensure it grows in moist soil with good drainage. Regularly harvesting the leaves can encourage growth and help prevent them from bolting. Water consistently to maintain soil moisture and add compost to enrich the soil.

What is the best month to plant coriander?

The best time to plant coriander is in early spring or autumn when temperatures are cooler. Coriander grows well in mild conditions, allowing the plant to establish itself before the summer heat.
